The 245,000,000 Moslems belong to the-Caucasian, yellow and ‘Negro races, form scores of nations of other ethnic groups and speak (dozens of languages.

Fast Growing Religion Moslem influence steadily growing. Among all existIng religions Islam makes the greatest number of converts. Egypt is ‘the seat of several Moslem missionary societies, and hundreds of thousands become converted to Islam sach year, chiefly in Africa and India.

A major reason for this is that

tracted dry spells are not uncomnon in North Africa, but this year’s, siled on that of 1944, is causing rave destitution, if not famine. It had not rained since January, nd then the downfall was not nough to do any good. There i n acute shortage of water, and vith it a lack of“power.

France is in no position to do inything for its protectorate. The | United Nations Relief and Reha-| bilitation administration is not op-! erating here and Morocco has low | priorities in the way of lend-| lease, Water is carefully’ zations throughout the protectorate. Casablanca’s best hotels, for FI ple it is turned on only in the morning and evening. Arabs in the burnt sections of the country are digging wells deeper in desperate attempts| to find new sources of water,

Steaks Plentiful

, Unable to raise or obtain grass, hay and other fodder, the natives have been forced to sell the bulk of their cattle, with the result that| meat—steaks as tough as they are] —are plentiful. You see them stacked in the open-air markets and | in the Old Medina, which was the original village of Casablanca before the French came. Any meat market Is a redeployment center for all the flies in Morocco. For those who plowed deepest, last year's crop was 50 per cent normal. The bread ration has been cut from 350 to 275 grams a day. Theoretically, the Arabs can obtain bread, but actually they can't. A black market in everything is running rampant.

With all near-famines come

{health problems, and typhus Is

spreading.

In Casablanca now, army air forces’ doctors advise you not to brush your teeth, with the water drawn from faucets. Drinking water is rationed to you in old gin bottles.

No Transportation

Arabs are tillers of the soil and in the better years raised enough grain to export some. They raised caftle, sheep and goats. All they ask is enough to eat and cloth, chiefly cotton, with which to clothe themselves. The men wear baggy pants, and the Fatimas are clad in long white haiks and veils that cover all but the eyes. But even if sufficient goods came to Morocco, the country is without automotive transportation with which to take it to the back country. What trucks there were are worn out, and there is no gas. The result is that what little goods are imported remain in coastal towns. This precipitated an unprecedented rush to Casablanca and other seaports. They swarmed on these towns like locusts — riding pathetic little burros, trailing camels, in groups and alone in barefooted editions of Shanks’ mare. Thievery and sluggery developed in Casablanca and other oyercrowded cities. The situation grew So bad that the French authorities had to post armed sentries to stop the influx. There is plenty of money, but nothing to buy. Prices are up 500 per cent above 1939.

Natives in Ignorance

There are 7,000,000 people in Morocco—200,000 Europeans and 350,000 Jews. That leaves nearly six-and-a-half million Arabs. The Arabs have no more rights than a three-time loser. The French run the works—financially, economically and politically, There is only one Arabic newspaper in Morocco and it is rigidly controlled by the French in Rabat, as is the Sultan, Talk about taxation without representation. The natives are taxed for schools, but their youngsters are denied admission to them. There are no educated groups. Moroccans are forbidden to go abroad for an education, Perhaps that is why there®have been no serious political disturbances in Morocco to date, such as there have been in Syria. The Nationalist movement has ‘been kept suppressed and underground. Nate urally, the Nationalists desire to throw off the yoke inflicted upon them by the French or any other nation. This Is a land of contrasts. The residents either have plenty or nothing at all, For instance, the Sultan of Morocco and his 50 wives have four or flve palaces and estates that knock your eye out.
